Pune 2019:
With the legacy of transforming lives of young talented women who have become icons in the glamour and fashion industry, fbb Colors Femina Miss India 2019 co-powered by Sephora & Rajnigandha Pearls vows to continue its tradition with an aim to extend whole-hearted support to the new generation women who have the potential to lead and represent the country in the future.
With Six Miss Worlds who have made India proud by marking their presence on the global map- Reita Faria (1966), Aishwarya Rai Bachchan (1994), Diana Hayden (1997), Yukta Mookhey (1999), Priyanka Chopra (2000) and more recently Manushi Chhillar Miss World (2017), who brought the coveted crown back home after 17 years – the hunt for the new crown bearer has now begun.
fbb Colors Femina Miss India West 2019 wrapped up with charm on 14th April 2019 at the Hyatt Regency, Pune which played a perfect host as hospitality & venue partner.
The evening announced the winners of the four states of the West Zone i.e. Miss India Goa, Miss India Maharashtra, Miss India Rajasthan, Miss India Gujarat along with Miss Jammu & Kashmir (from North Zone) who will represent their state at the Grand Finale which is going to be held in Mumbai on 15th June.
Owing to the recent Pulwama attack in Jammu & Kashmir, the Top 3 finalists represented the State of Jammu & Kashmir at the West Zonal Crowning Ceremony.
West Zone Mentor Neha Dhupia was extremely happy that the deserving candidate will be representing their state at the grand finale. She enthusiastically quoted, “I started my journey with Miss India and since then it has been a never-ending relationship with the pageant. Every year I see a fresh lot of ambitious and enthusiastic girls with the dream to win the Miss India and make India proud at the prestigious Miss world. I’m looking forward to have Manushi’s successor this year.”

- Samant Chauhan – A postgraduate diploma from New Delhi’s National Institute of Fashion Technology where he was also awarded the Best Design Collection and Most Innovative Fabric Development. For Chauhan, fashion is not just about popular trend, but a very basic form of representations that is always conceptual. He firmly believes in exploring his native Bhagalpur, still working with the weavers in innovating new fabrics and modern designs. His patent colours remain very earthy and his label SAMANT CHAUHAN has come a long way, selling at several high-profile stores across the world.

She was also nominated for Best Actress at the Marathi Filmfare Awards in 2014.
The girls had to go through 2 rigorous rounds which included: –
Round 1: fbb Collection – About the collection: fbb presents the extremely sizzling collection – Summer Rave. In sync with the trends in this season for western wear, the styles have been inspired by beachwear and resortwear. The collection is teamed with exquisite Ceriz hand bags.
Round 2: Samant Chauhan Collection – The light filtered and split by the magnificent broken glass windows I saw in Paris in a chapel on a cold January morning made me wonder about magic and truth, the crossover between the two and the eternal quest for beauty. Everything was chaos. They imagined a world with a prism. They wanted to understand darkness like Da Vinci who said the canvas should be painted dark because everything in the world is dark except when exposed to light. They wanted to tame light, to embolden it. The finalists wore an amazing range of exquisitely handcrafted collection of Diamonds from Senco Gold & Diamonds.
The finalists of fbb Colors Femina Miss India 2019 will undergo rigorous training and grooming sessions from the best experts in the industry before the Grand Finale on 15th June 2019 at NSCI Dome, which will be aired on Colors.
With a dynamic and holistic approach towards coaching all the finalists, apart from the fame and glory the winners stand to chance to win prize in cash & kind to a crore and above.
